Operating with a suspended license. A 38-year-old man tailgated a police officer in a motorcycle, causing the officer to switch lanes and initiate a traffic stop after he determined the man was going above the speed limit. The man told the officer, "I was trying to flag you down because I'm looking for the CVS."

The officer asked to see his license and registration, and the man handed him a paper with all his information, saying he was attempting to transfer his license from North Carolina to Florida and that all his documents had been previously stolen. Via the agency Tele-Type, the officer discovered the man was a sex offender, a violent felony offender and was on probation out of Daytona Beach.

His GPS tracking device had been cut off, police report, and was found near the beached shrimp boat on the shore. He was taken to jail.
